The 24-year-old has scored 11 times and provided four assists in 11 Ligue 1 appearances this season, and recently admitted that he would be open to a move to La Liga.

According to Marca, Barcelona have been monitoring the Frenchman for the majority of 2017, and the Catalan giants had their sporting director Robert Fernandez make a personal check on Fekir during last week's Europa League clash with Everton.

Paris Saint-Germain have also been strongly credited with an interest, but Fekir recently said that he would favour a move to Spain or England over another Ligue 1 club.

Fekir has managed 46 goals in 129 appearances for Lyon since making his first-team debut during the 2013-14 season.
